Cedric Kiefer
Co-Founder / Creative Lead onformative, Berlin
Cedric Kiefer
Vita
Guided by an emotional approach, Berlin based studio onformative constantly searches for new forms of creative expression. Through an experimental practice they create meaningful digital art works to question the relationship between humans and technology. Their outcomes and interpretations take on varying forms across media through self-initiated and commissioned works that range from interactive media installations, generative design and dynamic visuals to data-driven narratives. Works by onformative have been exhibited across Europe as well as in North America, Australia and China.
As the co-founder and creative lead at onformative, Cedric develops and directs projects to define the creative vision of the studio. Cedric’s fascination with science, technology and art fuels the development of new projects at onformative. Parallel to his work at the studio, he regularly teaches and talks about digital art and design at international universities, conferences and festivals.

Heike Bruckner
Architect, Bruckner Ganzheitliche Planung, Bregenz (AT)
Heike Bruckner
Vita
Heike Bruckner grasps with an emphasis on Geomancy the spiritual and energetic identity of a place, in order to consider these in architecture, art or landscape planning. This approach becomes obvious in her current projects, for example the agricultural multi-purpose building in Röthis, for which she won the Vorarlberger timber construction prize in the commercial building category in 2019.

Patrik de Jong
Creative Director, Artificial Rome
Patrik de Jong
Vita
Patrik is the Creative Director of Artificial Rome. It’s not always the easiest job when you’re dealing with a bunch of individualists and – let’s face it – nerds. Astonishingly, he manages to keep up with this matter-of-fact feature and still works as an excellent designer with an ingenious output.
Born in 1979 in Bochum, Germany, he started out by the age of 18 and was dragged along by the new economy hype.
Aged 20 Patrik started freelancing at various advertising agencies (W+K, HiRes!, Leo Burnett, Tribal DDB amongst others), studying Communication & Illustration Design in the meantime. In 2004 he teamed up with Dirk Hoffmann, they would co-found Artificial Rome in 2014. Since then, the team has, in successive years, received many awards in prestigious competitions including the Cannes Lions, the Art Directors Club, the Red Dot Award and the New York Festivals.
Patrik has been a speaker at the OFFF Festival, Resonate, ADC Conference, Playground Festival and was Guest Lecturer at the HAW, FH Lübeck and the Miami Ad School.
